@Kiti thanks, but I doubt my boss will let me use his visa card :D @Peter I know. What I hope to do is before implementation , train all the users starting with the project leaders, and create a manual. thanks for the ChilliProject lead, exploring it too.

And those who were unhappy<https://www.chiliproject.org/projects/chiliproject/wiki/Why_Fork>with the leadership of Redmine forked it and spawned ChiliProject <https://www.chiliproject.org/>.
From experience with both Redmine and Chili, plus a few more, I would say that the intended users of the system are the biggest obstacles to the successful implementation of any project management software, especially if that software adds onto their workload and there is no commensurate reward/punishment for that workload.

I have used www.trello.com (for my personal to-do list) and Greenhopper<https://www.atlassian.com/software/greenhopper/overview>for software project management, (though it can also be used for your scenario ) and would recommend them strongly.
The key principle underlying these software tools is lean production<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_manufacturing> and agile systems. You can read more about it here<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban_%28development%29>, here <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban_board>and here<http://www.methodsandtools.com/archive/archive.php?id=104>
Hope this helps

@Benjamin @Chiteri thanks, I am looking at Redmine and I have to say it looks pretty close to what I need. I am also exploring the Trac wiki system. Thanks you guys :)

Hi Eva,
I have used Trac wiki system (Python) before but not for project management purposes per se. I hear Redmine (Ruby) is good too. Both are free pieces of Software.
Try JIRA if you need a commercial issue tracking / project management tool with support.

Context: a project manager can create a team of 5 employees. the project is broken down into tasks and assigned to the employees, for instance procurement of a server and installation.
PersonPM: Manage this project PersonIT: get specifications, inspect product (submit progress report) PersonProcurement: create LPO, process Invoice, add to inventory (submit progress report) personLogistics: facilitate transport to installation site (submit progress report) person accounts: facilitate purchase, balance books (submit progress report)
The PMs and the administrators should be able to monitor employee performance The users should have a dashboard that has - teams they are member of - tasks they've been assigned and report upload
